LE/VSP Collaboration – Why Is Partnership Important? Learning How the Values and Strengths of Each Organization Are Necessary

Topic: Why Is Partnership Important? Learning How the Values and Strengths of Each Organization Are Necessary

Date: 8/26/2025

Time: 10:00 – 11:30 AM (Eastern)

Audience: Law Enforcement and Service Providers

Good partnerships between law enforcement and victim service providers bring immense value to the table and help serve victims better. Establishing positive partnerships is vital, and this workshop will examine the complexities and provide working solutions for each entity. We will also emphasize the unique contributions of each partner. Some of the illustrations demonstrated during the workshop will be the following: limited funding and overburdened staff, misunderstanding of roles and responsibilities, balancing confidentiality and privilege with information sharing, and competing priorities between investigation and victim needs. Participants will learn solutions drawn from interactive discussions.
